Forging Fraternity in Late Medieval Society: The Palmers' Guild of Ludlow

By Rachael Harkes

Departing from traditional guild studies, Forging Fraternity in Late Medieval Society crosses conventional historiographical boundaries to reconceptualise guild membership as both a structure for complex social relations and identities. With over 18,000 members recorded in the guild's massive extant archive, the Palmers offer a unique opportunity to investigate the interplay between institutions and individuals in the Middle Ages.
